It may be time to separate the sportsman from the pros.
What if the divisional races were the venue for the sportsman racer? {Up to comp)
Raise the payout and the contingecy to attract more racers. This might be done by raising entry fees slightly and eliminating contingency at national events. This could be done at no cost to NHRA and probably zero net increase to to the contingency sponsors.
We would have places to race instead of camping in a parking lot. Track prep could be tailored to the sportsman and we could eliminate the out at 8 and back at 8 syndrome.
